Scotty my 06 Pilots power steering makes noise when its cold outside but I goes away when it warms up, the fluid levels are normal I checked when cold and hot. What is the problem?
I've got a 2010 Honda Pilot Touring 4WD with over 180K. We bought it with 75K and have never had a mechanical problem with it. It shifts just as smooth as the day we bought it. As a family of 6 it has been an excellent vehicle. We love it and will replace it with another Pilot. I especially like this (the 2nd gen)-I like boxy over the more minivan look of the third gen.
Same. Got a 2015 Touring 4WD. Used. Very good vehicle. Hoping Honda comes to its senses and redesigns the Pilot so it returns to a boxier look for the 4th generation.
@@jimmysapien9961 True. My biggest gripe by far is the gas mileage. Not great. I'm really hoping Honda realizes a Pilot hybrid would sell like hotcakes. I'd buy one.
Keep what you have if it remains reliable. It's not wise to mess with success. Also look up Dave Ramsey's views on cars; he's not a fan of having car debt, for multiple reasons.
I've been a mechanic for over 20 years, Honda's are the easiest to work on, most reliable cars I've seen in my shop. I only buy Honda for my personal vehicles as well.
Get the Pilot. I bought an 06 pilot about 4 years ago and put 80,000 miles on it.... get the pilot. It will last forever and it’s a really comfortable car.
Hey, he saved my wife and I. Had a 2013 Nissan Altima, and the CVT started making that whining noise at 115,000 miles, so I traded it in on a Honda Accord while it was still worth something.
I have the 2009 with 205k miles! Normal maintenance and still going! I'm looking for another one too! Honda is the best way to go if you maintain them!
I have owned two honda pilots. Both bought used. First was an 06 fwd, kept it till it had a little over 250k miles. The second one is a 2009 awd that currently has 137k miles and is my daily driver. Both have been great. As a father of 5 kids, I use the third row about every day. Great family vehicle, and very reliable. My wife drives a honda civic, she's on her third one. We love Honda.
@@mxerick1 That's on the user's manual. It should be at 100K miles, unless you tow, or drive in places with super hot/cold temperatures, then it should be every 60K miles. That's for 2nd gen Pilot anyway, as I say, refer to the user's manual
Totally agree on the longevity of the 2nd gen CR-V. I have a 2002 CR-V LX automatic. Other than the normal expected maintenance items, the only part I changed is an O2 sensor 3 years ago. It runs as well as it did when new.
Cmon. Scotty logic: Pilot* Vehicle lasts 100.000miles troublefree. Automatics start to shift weird at 130.000 - 140.000miles. Good car. If it'd be a Toyota: Pretty jucky for a Toyota xD
the problem with hondas and toyotas are their interiors arent that fancy, their driving experience is nowhere near the other automakers and they dont look all that well, so you get what you pay for pretty much.
We have a 2005 pilot with all wheel drive. (216k) miles Absolutely love it, and it gets better millage than that 2012, that's strange. I don't think I have ever got less than 18 with it.
Been watching your videos since October. Just bought a 2009 Pilot 12/16 with 154k. Looks and Runs great... Seeing this video solidified my decision. Thanks Scotty!!
I psent over 30 years working on Hondas. As long as you change oil, change trans fluid when it's dark and timing belt when it's due they will go for a lonnnnnnnngggg time I own 4 honda none have less than 15k and one is well over 300k!
What about the 1.5 turbo engines? I just bought a 2019 civic touring with 1.5 turbo and am worried about oil dilution because I live in a cold climate.
VTEC Steve I had a 1991 Honda and I sold it to a friend like 15 years ago the guy tells me he wud not trade it for a new jaguar 🐆 I remembered Scotty🤣🤣
Honda reliability are terrible! I don’t even know why people keep saying they’re reliable. I’ve had 2, one brand new and it had problems since day one. Toyota and KIA are my favorite brands now for bulletproof reliability
Has to be a great customer, Scotty. She's a UTSA mom with some San Marcos Texas State Bobcats love on her window as well. Having lived in the ATX and SA from 2000-2005, I've had my share of commuting to/from everywhere down there (and my IH-10 drives between SA & H-Town, of course). Love that your channel was my VERY FIRST subscription....been following you for years now. Thank you for ALL you do for us viewers. Many blessings to you here in 2020. 😌🙏❤️💯
Hi Scotty, nice video about the Honda Pilot! I purchased a 2012 Honda Pilot touring a few weeks ago. It has 115k on the odometer. I had the following services completed: 1. Timing belt, belt tensioner and water pump was replaced. 2. All spark plugs were replaced 3. Drained and replaced rear differential fluid 4. Drained the transmission and replaced with new fluid 5. Removed power steering fluid and replace with new 6. Engine and cabin air filters replaced 7. New rotors and pads 8. Oil change/w filter 9. Coolant flush You mentioned transmission weakness in the FWD pilots. What preventative maintenance can I do to reduce my risk of a costly repair? Thank you!
@@ClearThirtyi was thinking the same. I got same year but mine is the 4wd version. Only issue I’ve had is the EGR valve went and needed a dealer update on it. Couldn’t avoid the update due to a TSB on it.
@@LatinCruiser2002Change the transmission fluid every 40,000 to 50,000 miles, and try not to stress the transmission with quick starts and such. It should last you quite awhile. 300,000 miles is not uncommon.
@@LatinCruiser2002 I just picked up a very clean 2013 Pilot, EX-L, but have owned a few Honda vehicles, a 2012 Accord EX-L in the garage right now. Drain the tranny fluid every year, and replace what was taken out. To do a true flush, drain, drive, replace, drain again, drive replace to get the old fluid out of the torque convertor. Drain until it is nice and pink or red. Do not do a tranny flush under pressure at the local quick change oil outfit. Many a transmission has been destroyed by these outfits. Gravity is your friend.
Wife and i have a 14 mdx 2wd that we bought used and we absolutely love it. Gets over 30mpg on the highway and 22 in the city which is better than the advertised epa ratings.
2009 Pilot EX-L 4WD w RES here in same color as the video. 214,000 miles on it and going strong. Only had 1 issue at around 120,000 miles....was burning oil. That hurt $$wise, but I love it. Now facing new struts, shocks, brakes & timing belt all at the same time....debating on selling or driving 'til the wheels fall off.
Like canadians are gonna drive all the way to Houston to ask Scotty if they should buy an all wheel drive, he's saying that, to people who lives around him and are his customers.
Bought a used 2007 Honda Pilot with 122K miles in 2014. No issues as of today and it has around 195K miles. Best family car, hands down. These things are bullet proof.
I own a 2004 Honda Pilot AWD. Bought it new, it now has 170K miles. Have only had to replace 2 window motors, brake pads and the recommended 100K water pump/timing belt replacement. It has developed a slight transmission shudder at low speeds that mostly cleared up after a trans fluid change. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
Next vehicle will be the Honda Passport which is essentially a Pilot minus the 3rd row seat and 6 inches (same wheelbase) of length. It also is a bit more sporty than the Pilot.
My father has always been in the predicament of whether he should buy the MDX or the Pilot, including this past year. And each time including this one he bought the Pilot for the same reasons you mentioned. Now we live in the northeast so we obviously got the AWD version, but thankfully we haven’t had any problems with the transmissions or drivetrains. We currently have 3 Pilots, a 2006, 2011, and a 2019. They’re all great vehicles.
Honda AWD systems are actually reliable if properly maintained. My recommendation for maintenance is changing the rear differential fluid at the same time as the transmission fluid which is ideally around every 30K miles.
I like our 2009 Pilot but buyers should watch out for fouled plugs from bad rings caused by the 3 cylinder ECO mode. Honda even extended the warranty on the Pilot due to this issue so keep that in mind when you're looking at used ones. I disabled the ECO mode on mine to make sure oil gets to all 6 cylinders all the time. Not worth the risk
@@oscararguedas7936 there's vcm disable kits on ebay that include connectors and resistors to adjust the temperature reading sent to the ecu to avoid eco mode
Didn't know ECO mode disables oil for half of the engine. How is that possible? Thought it would only turn off the injectors thus getting better gas mileage by running on 3 cylinders.
Bought one in 2015 for over 10k off MSRP. Been pretty good so far. No major breakdowns or anything. Gotta baby the transmission though. Used to do a lot of shifting into gear before a complete stop before I knew it was bad, and now it already feels a little jerkier than when I first got it, and it's only at 60k miles.
For anyone looking to buy an 8 year or older V6 Honda Pilot , Ridgeline or Accord with over 100K miles . Set aside $1,100.00 -- $1,300.00 to have the Timing Belt / water pump replaced by the Dealership . Or around $1,000.00 from your neighborhood mechanic. For Pilot & Ridgeline owners living in the Northern snow / rust belt States research the Honda Forums for " SMOD " STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE of DEATH. I caught mine in time and installed a aftermarket radiator about 3 years ago .
I heard of the "strawberry milkshake of death" issue on the Nissan Frontier trucks, but this is the first time hearing of it on the Honda Pilot and Ridgeline. Which vehicle (and year) do you have? Thanks.
@@GentlemanAmerican , I have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline . I read that SMOD can happen to automobiles that use radiators with internal transmission oil coolers / heat exchangers . Honda , Acura , Nissian , I'm not sure GM , Ford or Dodge .
I got 300k+ out of my 05 and went back and got 2014 and its been stellar. Love my honda. No transmission problems and both are all wheel drives. When I get over 300k on this one ill buy another as long as they don't go hybrid and keep the 3.5L engine.
Jollyprez funny, I have an 04 element and am considering replacing it with a new Honda like the pilot or CRV....really though, I’ll probably keep the E and get something a little different. The Element is still a great stuff-hauler, sort of like a small truck with a cap.
@@Slappywag69 We have a 2006 CRV, too....The Element is the noisiest, but incredible room. We're giving it to #3 son for his transportation - needs a few repairs, but he's a big guy, and fits well.
Jollyprez CRV is nice, sister in law just traded in her 07 and it always seemed to me like a more refined element. I just test drove a 2020 and my only trepidation with it is recent years have the CVT and 1.5T engine, but most folks haven’t had problems with either....hopefully Honda is continuing to focus on quality/longevity. Unfortunately, I also drove a civic hatch 6 speed manual, and now that is in the mix...very fun driver. amazing how much tech is in these newer cars, even lower trim levels.
@@Slappywag69 We have too much snow and driveway requires SUVs. The older Honda engines for CRVs and such are fantastic. The amount of abuse the CRV got is substantial - and it's just at 300,000 miles. We need another two years out of it, fingers crossed. ( then daughter will be out of college )
Love your videos Scotty! I have a 2011 Pilot EXL 4wd I bought it in April of that year. I recently hit the 120,000 mile mark and it seems to have begun consuming oil, so I am checking every the oil level every 1,000 miles or so as it seems to be down 1/2 to 3/4 or so. It has been fairly reliable, but I have had a couple parts go bad, I listed them below: Alternator - replaced at 85K Radiator - replaced at 97K Oil Control Valve - replaced at 120K Other than I have followed the factory maintenance schedule and I am on my 3rd set of tires and will finally be replacing the rotors later this year. It is my daily driver and I am hoping to make last as long as I can.
Look into a VCM Muzzler. This will almost 100% fix your oil consumption problem. These cars have variable cylinder management systems which shuts off a bank while running on the highway. This leads to increased engine wear and oil consumption. Most thing I have read online say that once you disable that system it will stop consuming oil. 👍
100% true on the transmission. My brother has one and the trans is just awe-full. Took it on a road trip and it was shifting up and down constantly with just 4 passengers. Engine though is a rock!
i have my 2012 pilot and bought it at 55,000 miles and i love it almost has 100,000 miles and no problems just changing the oil, oil filter brakes and the tires at some point 👍🏽
My 2009 Pilot EX is hitting 220K soon...runs strong and have only replaced the normal wear items ( Struts , shocks control arms and brakes. ) Rides smooth and straight , like Scotty says , not racing anyone for pinks anytime soon. Will be running it like I have all my cars, as long as I can before the nickel and dime syndrome kicks in.
hey scotty, i know you did a video on this years ago. but, can you make a more in depth video about lifting cars and supporting it on jack stands. maybe touching on both unibody and full frame cars and your opinion on lifting or supporting vehicles on the pinch welds (since i hear many different opinions on this). I have done basic repairs myself but lifting the car and supporting it is a big fear of mine and im sure there are many people out there avoiding diy repairs because of this. if anyone reads this and agrees like the comment so he might see this!
Your owners manual will show jack points. You can test a spot with your jack if you're unsure! Put it on a spot and jack slowly, if there is any sign of the car bending, stop. It should be a rock solid point. Underneath subframes you'll see very large bolts usually with large steel beams, it's safe to jack from those. Underneath tow hooks as well on cars with steel built in tow hooks
You made me feel good Scotty I thought I bought a headache. I just bought a 2008 last year (2020) and only thing wrong was VSA light keep coming on and after I replaced both rear shocks, that VSA light never came back.
had a Honda Civic years ago and turned onto a side road. The snow plow had left about a foot of icy snow across the road and it took out the lower fins of the condenser but luckily didn't leak. Built too low for snow. A friend of mine used to work at Honda in Alliston Ont. and said they built them flimsier every year.
I have driven Toyota’s for years. Scotty you are right they are bullet proof. I have a 2016 Toyota Tundra Crew Max and plan on driving it for the next 10 years at least. I just bought a 2020 Honda Pilot Elite new as my commuter and family car. I negotiated $9k off of sticker price. I love this vehicle I test drove the Highlander and under powered 4 runner and settled on the pilot. I’m glad I did I love both my Toyota Tundra and my Honda Pilot. I appreciate your videos sir!!
You're lucky if you haven't had to replace any electrical components. The engines are sound but Honda really screwed the pooch with the electronics. I've had to put new starters on both my TLs at 67K and 78K and needed new compute module on one of them. Don't even get me started on the new battery every 3 years even with the bluetooth disabled.
Well 2 things number 1 you got a lot of money to get a premium car every 2 years that's good for you but a well made car and if you take care of it that will make the difference hey if you have the money to buy a new car every 2 years go right a head dealership are waiting for your money number 2 I work hard for my money my parents are not paying for my stuff and I value my money
@Rick Simpson you one of those guys that buys new vehicles then when it gets old but still has plenty of life left you get rid of it, people like you is why we used car buyers get such a deal and you get stuck with the depreciation
Keep buying new car every 2 years and I will buy them when they cost less than what you pay thanks for that a lot of people need use cars so go right a head take the car out of dealership and I buy it on the street thanks please don't stop and that's why I buy or Honda or Toyota or luxury car Acura or Lexus so now you go to the dealership buy a brand new Acura or Lexus and drive it for 2 or 3 years and then call me I will buy it thanks
I have a 2005 Honda Pilot that has 168,000 miles and drive it everyday for personal use/work. Only bad thing is that you can feel the shifting a little bit and that the power steering pumps are weak over time. Besides that..I love my Pilot
My mom and I have pilots. I have a 2008 with 145,000 miles. Still goes down the road just fine. No major issues. My mom’s is a 2015 with a bit under 50,000 miles and it doesn’t have any problems not stemming from her poor maintenance schedule
I have one of these in 4x4. Runs great! Bought it used for $12k. The only problem I ran into is the power steering, which was an easy fix. I have a 90lbs. GSD and I'm 6'1." Rough ride, but I'm a rough guy haha.
Scotty! The next time (if) you go car shopping you should bring a camera crew along for the trip so we can see how you negotiate the prices. I’d imagine that would be a 72hr long negotiation video and and you’re a busy man but I could use a good laugh.
To all those who own or intend to own a 2016-2022 Pilot PLEASE service your transmission!!! I work as a service writer at a Honda dealership and I’m currently on my 3rd customer who’s paying out of pocket for a transmission replacement on their 2018 Pilot 102k miles because the fluid hadn’t been changed till 80k. These new Pilot transmissions are very high maintenance and the oil pump inside the trans WILL go out between 80-120k miles if the fluid is not changed every few oil changes or every 20-30k miles!! My shop foreman actually changes the trans fluid in his wife’s 2016 Pilot every other oil change. If your trans doesn’t go out, your torque converter will which just so happens to be cheaper than a new trans but still almost $3k repair.
2009 Honda Pilot owner here! She's a beauty and I also love the boxy shape more than the current body. Unfortunately we had to replace the transmission and it cost us $5000 a few years ago, and I remember Scotty talking about the 2009 transmission issues. Other than that, she has 156,000 miles on her and we take her everywhere. We will be be driving her until the wheels fall off.
We bought a used 4WD Pilot over a used MDX because the Pilot felt better on the road (2 different Pilots and 2 different MDXs). Sure the Acura SH-AWD is programmed better than the Honda VTM-4, but it helps keep the car straight when hydroplaning on the interstate.
I have a ‘14 Pilot with 80k miles and a ‘04 Pilot with 150k miles. Both AWD and both are trouble free. I also change 3 quarts of ATF (Honda ATF) every other oil change.
Or you could wait till the MDX depreciates to cheaper than a same year/mileage Pilot. As an Uber driver, the MDX qualifies for luxury rides as well as the XL rides, so that's an important consideration
We bought an 03 Pilot when they came out in June 02. It did have sensor recall just after we got it. Put 2 sets of tires on it, 4 batteries, one st of brakes, and did do a timing belt service, at 55,000.miles, and an oil change once a year. The wife wanted something a little smaller, so last year she bought a real sweet 2016 CRv. Anyhow, the Pilot went to her daughter 15 months ago, at 73,000 miles. Dealer offers $1000.00. Screw the dealer. Still running fine, no problems. The older Pilots are bigger than the newer ones, same with the CRVs.
who tf buys a suv with a manual? dude get a sports car or atleast a sedan if you want a standard, i sure as hell dont wanna be shifting a dam suv all the time
I bought a2018 Honda Pilot and never had an issue with it since new. Just oil change and filters. Good on gas even with all wheels drive. Lot of space. What a good car.
We have a ‘16 pilot (2WD, v6). It had 117k miles on it. For ride comfort and features we love it. Lots of room and great for family trips. Unfortunately our transmission does this spring - just 2 weeks after we had a full transmission flush. Honda corporate got involved, and even though we were post warranty, they covered 60% of the cost. We also added on a transmission cooler to help us with our towing (we have a small travel trailer).

You think the same is considered for the new edition I’m thinking about getting one but I’m not sure if they still as reliable as the past
14 years with my ‘07 Pilot, nothing but maintenance, @ 120k I replaced the transmission planning on keeping it till 2030.

When did you had to replace your timing belt?
@@mxerick1 That's on the user's manual. It should be at 100K miles, unless you tow, or drive in places with super hot/cold temperatures, then it should be every 60K miles. That's for 2nd gen Pilot anyway, as I say, refer to the user's manual
The timing belt/water pump should be replaced at every 7 years /105000 miles WHICHEVER COMES FIRST!
I love my 2005 Honda CR-V I have 295k miles on it and wouldn’t buy anything else besides honda/Toyota
Totally agree on the longevity of the 2nd gen CR-V. I have a 2002 CR-V LX automatic. Other than the normal expected maintenance items, the only part I changed is an O2 sensor 3 years ago. It runs as well as it did when new.
Cmon. Scotty logic:
Pilot* Vehicle lasts 100.000miles troublefree. Automatics start to shift weird at 130.000 - 140.000miles. Good car.
If it'd be a Toyota: Pretty jucky for a Toyota xD
@ It calms down in Canada.
@ Wow I didn't know that CRV'S can be MAD. LOL
the problem with hondas and toyotas are their interiors arent that fancy, their driving experience is nowhere near the other automakers and they dont look all that well, so you get what you pay for pretty much.
Did Scotty just go a whole video without saying “endless money pit”!?!?
Yeah, and "plastic crap", "when I was a young mechanic", "fancy scan tool".
Gabriel Colacion
I think he said the pit was moneyless
But there is the laughing 'Hyena'
He did say the Acura was "$13,000 more" 6 times.
We have a ‘12 Pilot in the family
We had it for more than few years and never had a single problem with it
Still going strong at over 120k miles💪🏼
Did u replace timing belt ?
@@puma1294 yup
We have a 2005 pilot with all wheel drive. (216k) miles Absolutely love it, and it gets better millage than that 2012, that's strange. I don't think I have ever got less than 18 with it.

Been watching your videos since October. Just bought a 2009 Pilot 12/16 with 154k. Looks and Runs great... Seeing this video solidified my decision. Thanks Scotty!!
I got a 2008 4WD pilot, 202K miles and it still pulls hard no problem 👍🏻
I psent over 30 years working on Hondas. As long as you change oil, change trans fluid when it's dark and timing belt when it's due they will go for a lonnnnnnnngggg time I own 4 honda none have less than 15k and one is well over 300k!
What about the 1.5 turbo engines? I just bought a 2019 civic touring with 1.5 turbo and am worried about oil dilution because I live in a cold climate.
Somebody asked me what to do to make their car last longer I told them to sell it and buy a Honda
Billy Sava I bought a used 2010 civic,best car I've owned.
90's Honda's are the best
VTEC Steve I had a 1991 Honda and I sold it to a friend like 15 years ago the guy tells me he wud not trade it for a new jaguar 🐆 I remembered Scotty🤣🤣
That's just terrible advice. You should have said a 1994 Toyota Celica.
Honda reliability are terrible! I don’t even know why people keep saying they’re reliable. I’ve had 2, one brand new and it had problems since day one. Toyota and KIA are my favorite brands now for bulletproof reliability
Has to be a great customer, Scotty. She's a UTSA mom with some San Marcos Texas State Bobcats love on her window as well. Having lived in the ATX and SA from 2000-2005, I've had my share of commuting to/from everywhere down there (and my IH-10 drives between SA & H-Town, of course).
Love that your channel was my VERY FIRST subscription....been following you for years now. Thank you for ALL you do for us viewers. Many blessings to you here in 2020. 😌🙏❤️💯
Scotty’s hands need their own RUclips channel.
Hi Scotty, nice video about the Honda Pilot! I purchased a 2012 Honda Pilot touring a few weeks ago. It has 115k on the odometer. I had the following services completed:
1. Timing belt, belt tensioner and water pump was replaced.
2. All spark plugs were replaced
3. Drained and replaced rear differential fluid
4. Drained the transmission and replaced with new fluid
5. Removed power steering fluid and replace with new
6. Engine and cabin air filters replaced
7. New rotors and pads
8. Oil change/w filter
9. Coolant flush
You mentioned transmission weakness in the FWD pilots. What preventative maintenance can I do to reduce my risk of a costly repair?
Thank you!
The fact that he did not answer your very detailed question, pains me.
@@ClearThirtyi was thinking the same. I got same year but mine is the 4wd version. Only issue I’ve had is the EGR valve went and needed a dealer update on it. Couldn’t avoid the update due to a TSB on it.
@@LatinCruiser2002Change the transmission fluid every 40,000 to 50,000 miles, and try not to stress the transmission with quick starts and such. It should last you quite awhile. 300,000 miles is not uncommon.
@@michaelwright1602 doing that this next service.
@@LatinCruiser2002 I just picked up a very clean 2013 Pilot, EX-L, but have owned a few Honda vehicles, a 2012 Accord EX-L in the garage right now. Drain the tranny fluid every year, and replace what was taken out. To do a true flush, drain, drive, replace, drain again, drive replace to get the old fluid out of the torque convertor. Drain until it is nice and pink or red. Do not do a tranny flush under pressure at the local quick change oil outfit. Many a transmission has been destroyed by these outfits. Gravity is your friend.
Wife and i have a 14 mdx 2wd that we bought used and we absolutely love it. Gets over 30mpg on the highway and 22 in the city which is better than the advertised epa ratings.
Currently own a 2011 pilot ex-l with a 130,000 miles so far is been a blessing been everywhere from Canada to Florida.
I recently bought a 2012 Pilot 4WD for less than $10,000 with 109,000 miles
Recently bought an ‘05 from a little old lady for $2500. Transmission needed work, costing $3500. Only 152k on it now and plenty more to come!
It's been a year, how's the Pilot going?
@@thumpertorque_ great
2009 Pilot EX-L 4WD w RES here in same color as the video. 214,000 miles on it and going strong. Only had 1 issue at around 120,000 miles....was burning oil. That hurt $$wise, but I love it. Now facing new struts, shocks, brakes & timing belt all at the same time....debating on selling or driving 'til the wheels fall off.
Your advice for not buying the Pilot in AWD I'd great if you live in the lower states, but up here in Canada if you don't have it, good luck!
@Lassi Kinnunen VTM-4 on the Pilot locks the rear wheels up to 18 mph in 1st, 2nd, and Reverse gears.
Waste of money. Get a Fwd or get a older 4wd.
@Lassi Kinnunen
Couldnt agree more...
Also i cant understand how this is hard for people to understand
Like canadians are gonna drive all the way to Houston to ask Scotty if they should buy an all wheel drive, he's saying that, to people who lives around him and are his customers.
Our old 2003 pilot with 4wd has 260000 on it with no problems with awd
I felt like I was watching a used car salesman give me the rundown on a prospective vehicle. An honest car salesman!
0:28 Doug's the kind of guy to show up on other people's videos.
Bought a used 2007 Honda Pilot with 122K miles in 2014. No issues as of today and it has around 195K miles. Best family car, hands down. These things are bullet proof.

I own a 2004 Honda Pilot AWD. Bought it new, it now has 170K miles. Have only had to replace 2 window motors, brake pads and the recommended 100K water pump/timing belt replacement. It has developed a slight transmission shudder at low speeds that mostly cleared up after a trans fluid change. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
Next vehicle will be the Honda Passport which is essentially a Pilot minus the 3rd row seat and 6 inches (same wheelbase) of length. It also is a bit more sporty than the Pilot.
My father has always been in the predicament of whether he should buy the MDX or the Pilot, including this past year. And each time including this one he bought the Pilot for the same reasons you mentioned. Now we live in the northeast so we obviously got the AWD version, but thankfully we haven’t had any problems with the transmissions or drivetrains. We currently have 3 Pilots, a 2006, 2011, and a 2019. They’re all great vehicles.
Honda AWD systems are actually reliable if properly maintained. My recommendation for maintenance is changing the rear differential fluid at the same time as the transmission fluid which is ideally around every 30K miles.
I like our 2009 Pilot but buyers should watch out for fouled plugs from bad rings caused by the 3 cylinder ECO mode. Honda even extended the warranty on the Pilot due to this issue so keep that in mind when you're looking at used ones. I disabled the ECO mode on mine to make sure oil gets to all 6 cylinders all the time. Not worth the risk
How did you disable it?
@@oscararguedas7936 there's vcm disable kits on ebay that include connectors and resistors to adjust the temperature reading sent to the ecu to avoid eco mode
David W thanks.
Didn't know ECO mode disables oil for half of the engine. How is that possible? Thought it would only turn off the injectors thus getting better gas mileage by running on 3 cylinders.
I just bought a used 2012 Honda Pilot for under 10k. I’ve been watching and waiting for my time to shine ✨
Bought one in 2015 for over 10k off MSRP. Been pretty good so far. No major breakdowns or anything. Gotta baby the transmission though. Used to do a lot of shifting into gear before a complete stop before I knew it was bad, and now it already feels a little jerkier than when I first got it, and it's only at 60k miles.
I hope you live another hundred years.
We learn a lot from your videos.
Greetings from Slovenia
The man's a gem! He knows what he's talking about!
For anyone looking to buy an 8 year or older V6 Honda Pilot , Ridgeline or Accord with over 100K miles . Set aside $1,100.00 -- $1,300.00 to have the Timing Belt / water pump replaced by the Dealership . Or around $1,000.00 from your neighborhood mechanic.
For Pilot & Ridgeline owners living in the Northern snow / rust belt States research the Honda Forums for " SMOD " STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE of DEATH. I caught mine in time and installed a aftermarket radiator about 3 years ago .
I heard of the "strawberry milkshake of death" issue on the Nissan Frontier trucks, but this is the first time hearing of it on the Honda Pilot and Ridgeline. Which vehicle (and year) do you have? Thanks.
@@GentlemanAmerican , I have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline . I read that SMOD can happen to automobiles that use radiators with internal transmission oil coolers / heat exchangers .
Honda , Acura , Nissian , I'm not sure GM , Ford or Dodge .
Honda Pilot will be my next car
The used one for sure 😁
Check out the Passport!
Me toooo
Had an MDX and loved it they are similarly priced used as the pilot
I got 300k+ out of my 05 and went back and got 2014 and its been stellar. Love my honda. No transmission problems and both are all wheel drives. When I get over 300k on this one ill buy another as long as they don't go hybrid and keep the 3.5L engine.
Being mechanic Friday, I'm giving away this Honda Pilot.
Really! What year? How many miles?
its probably a money PIT! Lmaooo
I have a 2004 Honda Pilot with just under 200,000 miles and it still runs like a dream
We just got a 2013 Pilot with 59k miles..VERY happy with it so far - much more civilized than our 2004 Element.
Jollyprez funny, I have an 04 element and am considering replacing it with a new Honda like the pilot or CRV....really though, I’ll probably keep the E and get something a little different. The Element is still a great stuff-hauler, sort of like a small truck with a cap.
@@Slappywag69 We have a 2006 CRV, too....The Element is the noisiest, but incredible room. We're giving it to #3 son for his transportation - needs a few repairs, but he's a big guy, and fits well.
Jollyprez CRV is nice, sister in law just traded in her 07 and it always seemed to me like a more refined element. I just test drove a 2020 and my only trepidation with it is recent years have the CVT and 1.5T engine, but most folks haven’t had problems with either....hopefully Honda is continuing to focus on quality/longevity.
Unfortunately, I also drove a civic hatch 6 speed manual, and now that is in the mix...very fun driver. amazing how much tech is in these newer cars, even lower trim levels.
@@Slappywag69 We have too much snow and driveway requires SUVs. The older Honda engines for CRVs and such are fantastic. The amount of abuse the CRV got is substantial - and it's just at 300,000 miles. We need another two years out of it, fingers crossed. ( then daughter will be out of college )
I've got an '06 Pilot, AWD, 300,000km on it, and he's right, the transmission gets pretty rough. Otherwise great though.
3:45 " Do you really want to spend an extra 13k? Not Scotty, Im too cheap for that"😂
Our 15 year old Hyundai 7 seater Trajet 2L auto petrol does 18 mpg!
Its a very reliable vehicle. Very comfortable.
Love your videos Scotty! I have a 2011 Pilot EXL 4wd I bought it in April of that year. I recently hit the 120,000 mile mark and it seems to have begun consuming oil, so I am checking every the oil level every 1,000 miles or so as it seems to be down 1/2 to 3/4 or so. It has been fairly reliable, but I have had a couple parts go bad, I listed them below:
Alternator - replaced at 85K
Radiator - replaced at 97K
Oil Control Valve - replaced at 120K
Other than I have followed the factory maintenance schedule and I am on my 3rd set of tires and will finally be replacing the rotors later this year. It is my daily driver and I am hoping to make last as long as I can.
Look into a VCM Muzzler. This will almost 100% fix your oil consumption problem. These cars have variable cylinder management systems which shuts off a bank while running on the highway. This leads to increased engine wear and oil consumption. Most thing I have read online say that once you disable that system it will stop consuming oil. 👍
100% true on the transmission. My brother has one and the trans is just awe-full. Took it on a road trip and it was shifting up and down constantly with just 4 passengers. Engine though is a rock!
i have my 2012 pilot and bought it at 55,000 miles and i love it almost has 100,000 miles and no problems just changing the oil, oil filter brakes and the tires at some point 👍🏽
My 2009 Pilot EX is hitting 220K soon...runs strong and have only replaced the normal wear items ( Struts , shocks control arms and brakes. )
Rides smooth and straight , like Scotty says , not racing anyone for pinks anytime soon.
Will be running it like I have all my cars, as long as I can before the nickel and dime syndrome kicks in.
hey scotty, i know you did a video on this years ago. but, can you make a more in depth video about lifting cars and supporting it on jack stands. maybe touching on both unibody and full frame cars and your opinion on lifting or supporting vehicles on the pinch welds (since i hear many different opinions on this). I have done basic repairs myself but lifting the car and supporting it is a big fear of mine and im sure there are many people out there avoiding diy repairs because of this. if anyone reads this and agrees like the comment so he might see this!
Your owners manual will show jack points. You can test a spot with your jack if you're unsure! Put it on a spot and jack slowly, if there is any sign of the car bending, stop. It should be a rock solid point. Underneath subframes you'll see very large bolts usually with large steel beams, it's safe to jack from those. Underneath tow hooks as well on cars with steel built in tow hooks
Big fan of these with the boxy looks. The resale on these are crazy.
Did you know Jesus drove a HONDA, because he came down on his own ACCORD!
👍☝️
True, but it was Pontius PILOT who turned him over for execution.
You made me feel good Scotty I thought I bought a headache. I just bought a 2008 last year (2020) and only thing wrong was VSA light keep coming on and after I replaced both rear shocks, that VSA light never came back.

Keep it up Scotty ! Honesty is always the best policy !!
had a Honda Civic years ago and turned onto a side road. The snow plow had left about a foot of icy snow across the road and it took out the lower fins of the condenser but luckily didn't leak. Built too low for snow. A friend of mine used to work at Honda in Alliston Ont. and said they built them flimsier every year.

Hey Scotty, I've got a 2012 EXL 4WD. Bought five years ago with 80k, now has 411,000 miles on it. Transmission still working ok.
Hi, I’m looking at this same vehicle, would any of those mentioned issues occcur if the 4wd wasn’t used?
I have driven Toyota’s for years. Scotty you are right they are bullet proof. I have a 2016 Toyota Tundra Crew Max and plan on driving it for the next 10 years at least. I just bought a 2020 Honda Pilot Elite new as my commuter and family car. I negotiated $9k off of sticker price. I love this vehicle I test drove the Highlander and under powered 4 runner and settled on the pilot. I’m glad I did I love both my Toyota Tundra and my Honda Pilot. I appreciate your videos sir!!
I have Honda pilot and Acura tl 2010 and I probably keep them for ever there is not problem
You're lucky if you haven't had to replace any electrical components. The engines are sound but Honda really screwed the pooch with the electronics. I've had to put new starters on both my TLs at 67K and 78K and needed new compute module on one of them. Don't even get me started on the new battery every 3 years even with the bluetooth disabled.
Well 2 things number 1 you got a lot of money to get a premium car every 2 years that's good for you but a well made car and if you take care of it that will make the difference hey if you have the money to buy a new car every 2 years go right a head dealership are waiting for your money number 2 I work hard for my money my parents are not paying for my stuff and I value my money
@Rick Simpson you one of those guys that buys new vehicles then when it gets old but still has plenty of life left you get rid of it, people like you is why we used car buyers get such a deal and you get stuck with the depreciation
Keep buying new car every 2 years and I will buy them when they cost less than what you pay thanks for that a lot of people need use cars so go right a head take the car out of dealership and I buy it on the street thanks please don't stop and that's why I buy or Honda or Toyota or luxury car Acura or Lexus so now you go to the dealership buy a brand new Acura or Lexus and drive it for 2 or 3 years and then call me I will buy it thanks
Rick Simpson i actually wouldnt buy any new car cuz the difference in quality i want a 94 Legend and 99 Integra lol

Only bad thing is that you can feel the shifting a little bit and that the power steering pumps are weak over time.

Jay I hope you have changed the timing belt on your Pilot.
Scotty, do you have Italian in you? LOL you have the sign language down! LOL!
Also Scotty loves spaghetti and a glass of white wine 😳 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have one of these in 4x4. Runs great! Bought it used for $12k. The only problem I ran into is the power steering, which was an easy fix. I have a 90lbs. GSD and I'm 6'1." Rough ride, but I'm a rough guy haha.
Scotty! The next time (if) you go car shopping you should bring a camera crew along for the trip so we can see how you negotiate the prices. I’d imagine that would be a 72hr long negotiation video and and you’re a busy man but I could use a good laugh.
To all those who own or intend to own a 2016-2022 Pilot PLEASE service your transmission!!!
I work as a service writer at a Honda dealership and I’m currently on my 3rd customer who’s paying out of pocket for a transmission replacement on their 2018 Pilot 102k miles because the fluid hadn’t been changed till 80k. These new Pilot transmissions are very high maintenance and the oil pump inside the trans WILL go out between 80-120k miles if the fluid is not changed every few oil changes or every 20-30k miles!! My shop foreman actually changes the trans fluid in his wife’s 2016 Pilot every other oil change. If your trans doesn’t go out, your torque converter will which just so happens to be cheaper than a new trans but still almost $3k repair.
What about the 2023 and 2024
My girlfriend has a 2017 CR-V. She thought the Pilot was too big.
Still, both are great vehicles.
2009 Honda Pilot owner here! She's a beauty and I also love the boxy shape more than the current body. Unfortunately we had to replace the transmission and it cost us $5000 a few years ago, and I remember Scotty talking about the 2009 transmission issues. Other than that, she has 156,000 miles on her and we take her everywhere. We will be be driving her until the wheels fall off.
Question does your 2009 consume, burn oil ? I've seen many that do burn oil?

Thank you Scotty for your AWERSOME video's!!! Keep them coming!!!
I sit and wait for this. Respect scotty
We bought a used 4WD Pilot over a used MDX because the Pilot felt better on the road (2 different Pilots and 2 different MDXs). Sure the Acura SH-AWD is programmed better than the Honda VTM-4, but it helps keep the car straight when hydroplaning on the interstate.
i like the combination of the q&a at the end of the video
I have a ‘14 Pilot with 80k miles and a ‘04 Pilot with 150k miles. Both AWD and both are trouble free. I also change 3 quarts of ATF (Honda ATF) every other oil change.
Aww yeah Scotty caught this one right before work.
congrats!
Or you could wait till the MDX depreciates to cheaper than a same year/mileage Pilot. As an Uber driver, the MDX qualifies for luxury rides as well as the XL rides, so that's an important consideration
Love watching your videos! Very informative!
We bought an 03 Pilot when they came out in June 02.
It did have sensor recall just after we got it. Put 2 sets of tires on it, 4 batteries, one st of brakes, and did do a timing belt service, at 55,000.miles, and an oil change once a year.
The wife wanted something a little smaller, so last year she bought a real sweet 2016 CRv.
Anyhow, the Pilot went to her daughter 15 months ago, at 73,000 miles. Dealer offers $1000.00. Screw the dealer. Still running fine, no problems.
The older Pilots are bigger than the newer ones, same with the CRVs.
A Pilot with a manual transmission should be available for folks like myself
Yes yes YES! Id take a element with the k24 and a 6spd manual too.

I love how he extended his outro to 10 minutes for that bread
We have a ‘16 pilot (2WD, v6). It had 117k miles on it. For ride comfort and features we love it. Lots of room and great for family trips. Unfortunately our transmission does this spring - just 2 weeks after we had a full transmission flush. Honda corporate got involved, and even though we were post warranty, they covered 60% of the cost. We also added on a transmission cooler to help us with our towing (we have a small travel trailer).
